Kova sofa review
I ordered the standard Kova sofa in rust velvet. After reading a lot of negative reviews the order seemed risky. I'm glad I took a chance. It's not perfect, but it checks so many boxes. The pros: It's huge, deep, and comfortable, especially for couch nappers; fabric is pretty, easy to clean, and sturdy; packed really well; reasonably easy to put together; solid and feels well made, doesn't feel modular. The cons: The freight company cancelled a scheduled delivery day-of and pushed the delivery out 2 weeks; the arms are as high as the back--a function of the modular design--which is weird to get used to. I like the arm height, it adds a sense of coziness to the couch and pillows, but it's unusual. To address some common things people say: I have heard no crinkles at all from the cushions. They are soft filled. Compared with a standard-design couch the cushions are "thin" in that they are more like pillows. They look good--they're what make the couch--and are in fact comfortable. The back and side cushions are the same: comfortable and cozy while being wide and flat. The modular pieces fit together securely, and the hardware holding the sections together feels quite secure. We have 2 English Mastiffs that weigh more than 200 lbs each and they climb up and down and sleep on the sofa with no creaking or sliding or separating. I like the sofa so much I will order more when our other sofas are ready for the bin.
